What the film also has is knife-edged tension. It's a truly gripping thriller. I'm not going to give anything away but as events progress in the film, the tension ramps up accordingly.

Argo was indeed excellent. I don't think I ever experienced a film like it, the tension in the final 20 minutes had my heart racing. Definitely my film of 2012.

Jack Reacher

I honestly don't know if I liked this or not. I just can't accept Tom Cruise as a total bad ass. My mother, a Jack Reacher fan, hasn't even seen the film and is fuming that "short arse" Cruise is playing the role. I can sort of see her point.
